This Beagle camera mount is for the Anycubic Vyper. The mast can be rotated and the height of the camera can be continuously adjusted with the clamping screw. Since the Vyper 3d printer has higher feet, the support foot and the mast have to be shortened accordingly for the original printer height. To do this, simply move the corresponding parts by about -15mm in the Z direction when slicing.

Additionally required:

1x screw M4x30mm

1x screw M4x12mm with hexagon head

1x screw M5x15mm with hexagon head
